@GSPBASSES if I can)...

the grain still comes through... would like to do a more traditional sunburst tho’ alternatively thinking about a see through blonde.

Thanks @SteveRobinson super fast delivery as always!
the good news:
fresh nitro (hour old) is really easy to strip from a guitar!....
the bad news:
ive used all of the missuses nail polish remover!!!!
this clear white is a bugger to spray!
Rather than gauging how much you've put on by looking directly at the colour/shade, try and get enough light at a suitable angle so you can see in the reflection how the current coat is laying down. You're aiming for just enough so the coat goes smooth. Too little, and you'll see from what just looks like a layer of dust, to little pinholes holes in the surface (if they're big holes, then you've got contamination, which is repelling the paint). Off course too much, and the only thing you'll be seeing are runs!
had to to strip it back and will start again!
